Matt Chester (right) laughs as his friend Greg Dicks (left) stuffs as many pancakes into his mouth as he can during the final seconds of a pancake eating contest at IHOP in Russellville Tuesday afternoon in recognition of National Pancake Day. Dicks tied for first with Tim VanOrsdol, both of whom ate a total of 30 silver dollar pancakes each in three minutes and Chester tied as runner-up with Brandon Sorrells with 22 pancakes each. Winners, VanOrsdol and Dicks, will both receive a free meal each month for an entire year. The Golden Cakes, Inc., IHOP franchise, who have ten locations in and around central Arkansas including Russellville, raised over $35,000 last year that went to Arkansas Children's Hospital. Nationally and internationally, IHOP has raised over $8 million in the last eight years. This year's goal was $3 million.
